That's kind of besides the point though. All I know is after Sakaguchi left, so did Uematsu and they didn't think FF was going in the right direction either. Lo and behold after a classic FF like X, XI comes out and XII and so on which are no longer turn based and take a more western approach. Which again, isn't a problem that I have with the newer games. Just stating what I've observed over the past few years.

FFXII still turn based and is one of the best Final Fantasy games (gameplay wise), Final Fantasy XIII's critics were about how limited the Gameplay was so they decided to make something more free with this new Final Fantasy.

The only reason that Sakaguchi left Square Enix is that he was ashamed  because his movie was a failure and he made Square Enix lose a lot of Money, The money that Square Enix lost was enought to make Several games of the same budget as of Final Fantasy X.

I can respect your opinion but I really didn't like FFXII at all. I guess by Turn based I mean more like the set character battles like 1-10. I feel it's more strategic to just worry about what choices you're making rather than trying to move around as well. I mean, I'll take either but something about FFXII really rubbed me the wrong way.

XIII was terrible. XIV is good. And I anticipate that XV will be good as well. I don't think that was the only reason he left though. Sure, it lost Square a ton of money and I would understand why he'd leave, even after bringing the company back from the brink to begin with, but he also noted along with Uematsu that they felt FF was going in a direction that they weren't excited to be a part of.
